BERRYER lint evening by the Biz. of England in the noble old lull of the Middle Temple constitutes a demonstra tion in its character wholly without precedent. It is a new and a very striking indication of the cor diality of the amicable relations now happily sub. &sting era permanence between ourselves and our Gallic neighbours. And the especial value of it as A demonstration lies in the fact that the enthusiasm by which it was signalised, was an enthusiasm in no one particular "got up," tut was in the fullest v.nee of the word spontaneous. M. BERRYER as the greatest Advocate at the French B ir, as coo of the most gifted Advocates of any Bir in civilised Europe, was welcomed yesterday by the assembled representatives of his professional brethren in this country, as it has never been the lot of any Advocate to be received — even in his own country 1 The foremost practising lawyer in the land, the Attorney-General, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, appropriately oceuped the chair at the centre of the dais, and presided with all becoming digniy, tact, and eloquence over the proceedings. With M. BERRYER, a 3 the guest of the evening, upon his right hand, and with the venerable NESTOR of the Engli3h Bar, the ex Chan cellar, Lord BROUGHAM, upon his left hand, the Chairman was secure enough, before those proceed- ings commenced, of finding them, from first to Last, fraught with a very peculiar and, at moments, even a really affecting interest. Among the speakers the feet was sufficiently notable that there were included thr,;© of the greatest Orators in Cnristen dom—M. BERRYER, Lord BIIOUGUA.II, and Mr GLADSTONE. Fur the purposes of oratorical display, it is notorious, of coarse, that mere after dinner orations afford the very paorest opportunities, even if : hey cin strictly be said to aff)rd any opportunity at alt. DEMOSTHENES and lULLY would find it almost impracticable to justify their reputation in exc'lange of coat plimentary tributes of respect and admiration. Yet so far as this diffi culty could be overcome by such consummate masters of their art as BERRYER, BROUGEIAM, and GLADSTONE, it was certainly overcome l'st evening. Oae exceptionally indiscreet allusion, it is true—en allusion uttered (of course !) by the last mentioned of these three great orators, uttered by him in the midst of a harangue, otherwise, in every respect, eminently, we had almost said pre-eminently, worthy of him—threatened to mar the harmony of tlae prcceedings. 11,fcrence being here made to the virulent, we might even venture to &cid, the malig' nant allusion made, in the worst possible taste—an allusion dragged in, as we may express it, by the neck and shoulders apropos des bates, as our French f:ier.d.i have it, or, as we say, to Nothing—Mr GLADSTONE'S bitter and venomous allusion—(in a e , remember ! especially intended, like all the other speeches of the night, to b e cape . cial'y gratifying to the Great Legitimist Allocate, M. BEaaYEal)—Mr GLADSTONE'S scornful and vindictive allusion to the last ea prience, in the South of Ita►y, of a I..,giimitst Govenment under a BOURBON dynasty. Wh y any Euch reference should have been made by Mr. GLADSTONE, or anybody else, then and there, upon the occasion of a Banquet being given to M. BERRYER by the Bar of Eogland, surpasses our comprehension. The fact is, however—and last night was proof positive of it as a fact that, upon the subj?ct of the late Government of 's the Chancellor Exchequer is under a sort of craze, Upon that matter, certainly, his judgment is warped and dis torted. He views it darkly and fiercely with the scornful eye of a partizan. His language in regard to it, is the language only of exaggeration, The men, there, are fiends—the prison cells are dangeons —the handcuffs, chains and slavery—every Boar bon Turnkey is a Jonathan Wild—the unhappy ex-King FRANCIS 11. is a sort of a combination of a CALIGULA and a Duke VALENTINO. We are tired to death of it. Surely having long since written (as he has) a ponderoas pamphlet upon the subject, setting forth all his views, in terms the most extra vagant, and with a colouring the most exaggerated, Mr GLADSTONE might at last consent just to leave it alone. The Bourbon Government at Naples is over and done with—the banners cf VICTOR EMMANUEL float over the palaces of FRANCIS who!e thing as it was is long ago past and gone. At the very least, Mr. GLADSTONE might have con- Knted to abstain from reviving thin dreary old tale that has years and years back so palled upon us by repetition, when he had to talk—if he could only somehow have contrived to do so for once ( just by way of a change)—only agreeably—as he ought to have done, for example, last evening in the presence and hearing of a venerable legitimist as illustrious by reason of his years, his gifts, his virtues, and his achievements as M. BERRYER, Otherwise than momentarily by this one incident nothing whatever occurred last evening to mar the harmony of the proceedings—proceedings as delightful (we are certain of this) to the hosts, one and all without exception, as to each one among their distinguished guests, from the illustrious Guest of the Evening downwards—proceedings, moreover, that cannot but be long looked back to with equal gratification by our French neighbours and by ourselves. It must be a great relief to an orator when he ca❑ occasionally depart from the routine of politics and discourse upon those subjects that aro congenial to the taste of the thoughtful and refined. The hackneyed phrases and stereotyped ideas can then be exchanged for the free flight of fancy, and the full flow of eloquence. Mr. GLADSTONE was able to enjoy this rare opportunity of what the French cell daassenient, on Monday evening,when he made his address et the closing of the North London Industrial Exhibition. The right hon. gentleman evidently entered fully into the spirit of his subject and the impressive character of his harangue suited alike the scene before him, and the opportunity that called it forth. Perhaps it is upon occasions like this that the masterly style of his eloquence is displayed to full advantage, and the force of his rhetoric attains the height that is duo. The occa• sional acerbity of expression and the momentary irritation of manner that sometimes mar the effect of his speeches when in his place in the House, are accessarily banished from a scene like that of Monday, when he meets his fellow-men to dis course upon subjects that carry one away in thought from the discords and strife that embitter existence, and develop the highest sentiments and sympathies of humanity. It is very interesting at all times to dwell upon such a theme as this Exhi bition, and it is instructive and important to con sider the evidence thus afforded of the elevation of the character and condition of our working classes. Such a thing was unheard of in generations back, and it is pleasant to speculate upon the vast changes wrought by the spread of education and the culture of the mind. Despite many drawbacks and obstacles, the ameliorating process has gone on, and it is not too much to say that this Exhibi tion, closed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Monday, has been a landmark by the wayside, to which others may pyint as a record to succeeding times of the shill and prowess of our own. Apart from the technical elf airs of such an arrangement, it is encouraging and elevating for our workmen and artisans to meet thus, face to face, with the great intellecto of the thy—with the mighty men in the fields of intellect whose names were but known to their forefathers, but whom they can mingle with on more eqaal terms—fellow-labourers in the work of human progress, alike awaiting the full fruition of their toil in the harvest that shall be reaped in the infinitude of hereafter. Mr GLADSTONE properly pronounced the scene before him to be " emphatically the festival triumph of labour." Such it was, essentially and entirely one of those bright spots which greet the traveller by the wayside in the fresh beauty of un sullied nature, or gladden the heart of the pilgrim in the desert with the sight of trees and the sound of water. Tne right hon. gentleman made an ap. propriate allusion when he said that their Minister of Finance appeared before them with the glory of a surplus in hand. It is in every way satisfactory that . the success of this Exhibition should have been so undisputed, for it silences the cavils of doubters, and extinguishes the objections of those who attempt to put down such undertakings. In every sense of the word the doubts of the hesitating have been exchanged for conviction, and the experience of time has proved the force and truth of those who undertake to prepare and to arraign the whole thing. Very true and very encouraging were the words of Mr. GLADSTONE on the importance and dignity of labour. He said that on this " busy teeming earth" there was no place for the idle man, and fully carried out his high and :holy meaning in this impressive passage, " Labour is the universal lot of man, and those who endeavour to escape from it, and to con vert into a period of mere enjoyment that term of existence which has been given us for exertion and for discipline are recreants to their own destiny, and to the law under which they live." Such is true philosophy and wise teaching; the motto Laborare est orare can never be too fre quently or forcibly impressed upon the mind, and those who regard work in its true light will recog. nise that, if its first infliction was to be the doom of sinful man, yet by its characteristics and capa bilities, it enabled the fallen nature, in a manner, to rise again, and seek the perfection of its final state. It is an especial advantage for those who are immersed in toil and traffic to have some other objects of interest above and beyond those which chain them down to their daily routine, and it is in this light that such a thing as this Exhibition must be regarded as a benefit and a blessing to the care• worn and weary labourer in the great highways of this workaday world. It raises his mind, elevates his ideas, and ennobles his existence, putting into his head and heart the stirring principles of pros gross and the refining notions of culture; while it gives to honest toil an honourable position in the sight of man, and sheds on his path the light re flected from above, that beams upon those who have done their duty in that state of life unt which it has pleased GOD to call them Mr. GLADSTONE did not exaggerate the importance of these elevated occupations, when he said that it was only a mind that drew ita fire from heaven that could find amusement in productions of such a nature after the exhausting effects of daily toil." It has also been of great importance that this Exhibition has afforded an example to others of what they can do, and thus been of signal benefit in this signmany e re f s p s e o c c t i s a progress ' l A sl l r may.

(Via Greencastle.) NE W YORK, OCT. 28, Evening. Vague rumours arc current of important move ments around Richmond. The Confederates are reported- to be in strong force, and to bo reorganising is the Shenandoah Valley. Their cavalry occupy Fisher's Hill, their mai❑ force being at Newmarket. Sheridan is at Cedar Creek. Price's army is reported routed, dispersed, and driven below Fort Scott, closely pursued by the Federal cavalry, The Federals have captured Generals Marmaduke and Caleb, and a large num ber of Price's prisoners and several guns. Five hundred of Price's troops have crossed the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, moving northwards. Beauregard has issued an address granting an amnesty to absent soldiers returning within 30 days. He says he joins the army full of hope and confidence in the struggle to strike a blow which shall bring auccess to the Southern army, and triumph to the cause of peace and to the country. Resolutions passed by the Southern Governments declare their firm, unalterable purpose to maintain the rights of self-government, establish their inde pendence, and uphold the State rights and sove reignty, or perish in the attempt. The Indiana Democratic and State Committee have issued a manifesto stating that the Repnblican party committed stupendous and systematic frauds in the late election. The military authorities have arrested the Demo cratic soldiers' electioneering, agents in Baltimore and Washington, and closed their cffices, on a charge of falsely signing and forging the names of officers and soldiers entitled to vote. At the examination before the military committee one agent pleaded guilty. The Democrat press assert that the charges are manufactured by the Administration, the agent having pleaded guilty, in the interest of the Go vernment. They also state that it is part of Lin coin's way of managing the campaign to elect himself, Windell Phillips has made a speech, asserting that he was not willing to trust Lincoln with the future of the country. He admitted that Lincoln was the only candidate in the field, but he must do the people's will. The Canadian Conference has been adjourned. The steamer Hope has beep captured, and the Flof.ne destroyed. The Canada has arrived out. NEW YORK, OCT. 29 (Morning.) On Thursday Gen. Grant made a reconnaissance in force on the left with Hancock's and Warren's corps. The Confederates attacked Hancock, who repulsed their assault. Finding the Confederates strongly entrenched at all points, bath corps with drew to a position a little in advance of their for mer lines, Butler made a simultaneous reconnais sance on the right without finding any point un guarded. There were casualties on both sides. On the right Grant captured 900 prisoners. The Con federate General Daring is reported killed. A despatch from Sherman, dated Friday,:indi•- cates that Hood was threatening another demon stration against the Tennessee Railroad at Chatta• nooga. It is rumourfd at Louisville that the Confederates have copturee.Pe,ducah, Kentucky. A resolution has been intruduml in the Alabama Legislature declaring that, if the Democratic party be succeskful, Alabama will be willing to negotiate on the basis of the Chicago platform if other South. ern States concur. NEW YORK, OCT. 28, The news from Missouri is still vague and contra dictory. The same despatches which renew the rumours of the defeat of Price, with considerable loss in men and artillery, end of his retreat south• ward, contain reports of the advance of a large Confederate force northward of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway% General Grant has agreed to a proposition from General Lee permitting the furnishing of extra sup plies and clothing to the prisoners of war upon either side by their friends or their respective Go vernments. The agreement allows the Confederates to ship from abroad the supplies for their prisoners. OCT. 29.

Stanton reports Hood threatening the invasion o: Tennessee.

Additional testimony has been adduced of the forgery of soldiers' names by the York State agents. General Dix announces that the military will pro• tect the purity of the polls against the intentions of rebel agents. Canada has sent refugee deserters to vote at the Presidential election.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (Morning). The report of Sheeman's evacuation of Atlanta has been denied. Forrest is threatening Paducah and Columbus. Gold is Excited, and is now quoted 1378 per ecnf. premium. NEW YORK, OCT. 31 (Evening.) (Via Crookhaven.) General Grant has resumed his old position. Hood has attacked Decatur, but was repulsed and crossed the Tennessee. Rumours are current that Sherman has evacuated Atlanta. It is reported that the Confederates will arm 300,000 ne g roes for the spring campaign• The Nov York and Kentucky State authorities sentiment of conceit is the quality which sustains a man in difficulty and supports him in danger, by pointing out the morrow that may bring changes. Mr. GLADSTONE rightly divined the spirit of the undertaking before him when he said that it proved the resources of the working classes, and showed them that besides the long vista opened into the future they might learn for the present something useful and impressive. He pointed out what the labour ing classes had to learn in various aspects, "it has had to learn how to bear the reverses of fortune, and how that lesson has been learnt the recent history of Lancashire will tell to our posterity." Loud cheers greeted this allusion to that noble episode in the history of our working classes of which the sons of toil may well be proud, carrying out as it has done the Efftcts of a principle prevailing which the Iworld in its losses and gains could neither give nor take away, and touchingly illustrating the sublime idea— "They also serve who only stand and wait." Mr GLADSTONE, in fulfilling his task of closing the Exhibition, declared that it was not dead or de parted, but gave the promise of rising in brighter array. Such an undertaking is not likely to be finished soon, its spirit will pervade other workers to aim at the same or still higher ends, and it may be believed, in the impressive words of Mr GLAD. STONE, that " it will help to confirm in the minds of the labouring community the eful lesson which they have already learnt, and will likewise prove to be an effective means of leading them onward in the path not of illusory and unsubstantial, bat of true and real progress, and healthful and Christian civilisation." Miss Bateman at Manchester. It may be that the lady who last night made her ap pearance at this theatre is destined to become a real and valuable acquisition to the English stags. Actresses of genuine ability are scarce ; still more so those who may be safely entrusted with the impersonation of high tragic parts ; and, scarcest of all, those who display the possession of anything like genius, or, indeed, the pure dramatic faculty which can rule an audience, and sway its feelings by the exercise of consummate art. It is to this high poin Miss Bateman aspires. She challeng€s our broadest sym pathies, sho appeals to our most sensitive instincts. 1 follows, therefore, that she must stand our keenest criti cism, and be judged by a standard we should not dream of applying to less ambitious and less talented actresses. It must be remarked that the public have seen Miss Bateman in one character only. As we have before hinted, she is, like Mr. Sothern in his long-sustained "Lord Dun dreary," an artist with one picture. Much may reasonably bo expected in such a case, and more when we refl. ct that it is a self-elected part, Indeed, all considerations help to increase the stringency of the tests we ate dis posed to apply, There is, however, one crcurestance that ought to weigh in the balance of opinion ; it is the fact of the mediocre character of Dr. Mosenthal's drama. We are convinced that it is anything but a favourable medium for the display of high art. The character of " Leah" (in the Continental version the name is " Deborah") is its great, nay, its only valuable element There is little in the piece to assist the representative of the chief character, or to aid in its development. The subordi nate personages are too ordinary and common to do more than servo as a background for the heroine. This, in a cer tain restricted sense, may be deemed advantageous to her ; hut it will not be denied that in a great drama, with fit accessories, genius finds fullest play, and receives freest scope. " Leah" is a part demanding complete self-reliance, and this valuable quality Miss Bateman possesses in a high degree. From the moment she comes upon the stage the audience is quite at ease in this respect—there is no fear for the actress. We need scarcely admit that the same con- scions energy sustains her to the fall of the curtain. Miss Baternan's physique is peculiarly suited to the impersona- tion of an eastern maiden. 'We rather doubt the appropri ateness of her pallid face and blanched skin to the personelle of a Jewess; but, apart from this, she not only acts but looks the daughter of Israel with striking truth. Her dress is already familiar to ua from picture or photograph, if not from stage imitators, who aff,ct all Miss Bateman's charac teristics of manner, costume, ant even of voice. But she can hays no imitator that may match her full, large eye and sharply-chiselled features, which, for still, staturesque repose, have no counterpart at present on the stage. Miss Bateman trusts much to the power of her ey,s. Naturs, has been unusually generous to her in these organs, with which she speaks as truly and eloquently as with her tongue. In the first scenes, she is unexpectedly calm, and, some might say, tame. But careful observation will show that every attitude is studied, every look prepared for a purpose. And effect is produced by great facial power, which aids an eye full of silent capabilities of passion and pathos. Her first interviews with her Christian lover may disappoint, simply because for an English audience she is not suffi ciently demonstrative. As the drama progresses this appa rent coldness wears off, and the hitherto pent•up or re strained feeling finds vent• We see this most distinctly first at the moment when she gets the first faint suspicion of Rudolf and his faithfulness. With this a sudden light seems to waken in her eyes, and a new passion in her voice. And not only so, but every muscle seems to answer to some hidden emotion, and her whole figure speaks. Instances of this complete self-control occur in her profession of love, her first doubt (as we have just said), but more remarkably than all in the churchyard scene, where, having caught a glimpse of her lost Rudolf at the altar with another, she turns from the door a crushed, heart-ruined, desolate woman. The depth of her scorn for the Christian is something terrible, and it is full of fearful energy as she exclaims, " And are you the man I worshipped ?" The curse which follows is delivered with clear, concentrated intensity, the result of immense mental and phy sical control, end loses nothing of its withering vehe mence by being uttered in calm, cold tones. Miss Bateman uses no meretricious aids to passion. She does not shout, she does not stamp, she does not rant. Every word tells us it comes forth, a well-prepared, well-weighed missile against the olject of her vengeance. It was at this point that the audience realised the genius of the actress, and the double recall which followed was a genuine triumph, fairly won. Quite equal, and in an artistic sense superior, was the final picture of the wasted,sorrow-stricken woman, who has carried about in her bosom tor years the vengeful memory of her wrongs. Here we think we saw the error of making the "Leah" of the earliest scenes so sold and unim passioned. Youth and love have their physical exponents and a blush, a rosy lip, a laughing eye, are their natural minis ters. Miss Bateman is pale and sad from beginning to end, too much so, we fancy, even allowing for the fact of her being one of a despised and persecuted race. Her rendering of the weary, worn-cut wanderer was painfully touching. Her noiseless approach towards Rudolf and his wife, on her return from soliciting favour for the Jews front the emperor, the gradual change of expression (all facial) as revenge passes away and forgiveness succeed, was marvellous. Not less affec'.ing was the brief episode other interview with his child, also named Leah. It was a rare exhibition cf involun tary but overwhelming womanly tenderness. The closing death scene was a fit climax to a desolate, ruined life, and we at once confess that we may scarcely expect to see another such realisation of sorrow that cannot be fathomed. There was unspeakable melancholy iu the whole act, and Miss Bateman's semblance of death was solemnly real, We have left little space for anything like comment, and shall not attempt it. Perhaps we may not err in sug gesting, in some passages, a less rapid delivery. Listeners would wish to hear all, and to secure the sentences com plete—occasionally Miss Bateman is too hurried to follow. We are confident that her acting will grow upon us in Manchester, and that her visit will be a signal success. An old favourite, Mr Swiubourne, played the " Nathan " of the piece, and elevated the character into something of importance. He was welcomed with much cordiality, and gave great satisfaction. AMr Jordan (new to us) took the part of " Rudolf," and made a handsome, free, and spirited lover. In his hands the part loses much of its unsatisfac toriness (not to say unworthiness) as seen done by others, and we mean it as a compliment when we add that" Leah" might justly cherish bitter and harsh feelings at the loss of such a one. The remaining characters were apportioned very much as we reineleber on the occasion of a former re presentation of this play, and we need add nothing here respecting them.-3faiicheeter Examiner. 0 LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—Messrs.

The committee ebargcd to examine the Govern. ment Bill for the transfer of the Italian capital to Florence has brought in its report. The following are the most striking passages:— "If Italy has solemnly announced to Europe a national programme, from which her honour will not permit her to desist in any case and in any part, it mast, however, not be forgotten that this pro gramme has never bee❑ t c3epted by France, and that, upon the contrary, it constitutes, at least for the moment, a principle and point of departure diverging from French conventions and views of policy. " Granting this, it is evident that the Government of the King, in requesting the Imperial Government to enter into negotiations, could in no way depart from this programme nor invite discussion upon that ground. To have acted thu3 would not have led to any result, and would have broken off the negotiations before they were fairly commenced. " nose, therefore, who seek in the convention immediate and positive satisfaction given to the national aspirations of Italy with regard to Rome seek what cannot be found there. " But, as we could not ask France to place herself as to negotiations at our point of view, France was no better entitled to demand that Italy should adopt her point of view by renouncing the national pro gramme. Universal disavowal and severe condem nation would not have been tardy to strike the Government which should have accepted such a position even for a moment. "It is in taking account of this diversity of posi• tions and views that your committee has under• taken the Examination of the treaty; determined to reject it without the least hesitation in case they should find in it an insult to the sentiments of the nation, and any modification whatever of the pro gramme which the King, the Parliament, and the country are all agreed in the desire tc maintain in tact ; determined equally to recommend it to your approbation in case, without inflicting injury upon these unalterable and inalienable bases, it should appear acceptable and praiseworthy in other re spects. We are now happy to tell you the reasons which have caused us to adopt the latter part. "The obligations imposed upon Italy by the con vention are too clearly expressed and too exactly defined to authorise with any foundation the con clusion, or even the suspicion, that Italy thereby renounces her aspirations towards Rome. " No, we do not renounce Rome ; we do not renounce going there in future, We simply re nounce going there in force. But this renuncia tion is in no way a contradiction of our national programme; it is, upon the contrary, in perfect harmony with the memorable order of the day of March 27, 1861, which happily summed up and stated our programme, and with all the subsequent declarations of the Chamber. It is true that by virtue of the convention this programme, which was only a voluntary and spontaneous resolution on our part, acquires the force and character and obligation entered into by contract and of an in ternational eogggement ; but this diversity of form in no degree alters the, substance of the thing, for the reasons which traced out for us this line of conduct beloged to so superior an order that the necessity arising out of them was not lees imperious than that resulting from the convention we have under ex.amination. "I❑ the opinion of your committee the temporal power will only be irrevocably overthrown and des stroyed by its impotence, and Italy is as much and more interested in this fatal experience as its most ardent adversaries seem to be. Your committee perceives that it would be superfluous to persist in demonstration that the treaty makes no attack upon the bases of the national tight. It is enough if they limit themselves to calling the attention of the Chamber and of the country to the diplomatic de cuments which have been laid before us at the same time as the convention, and in which the same thesis is constantly supported and defended with rare talent end indefatigable energy. But if the con vention of the nth September was not intended to satisfy either tho French programme or the Italian programme upon the subject of the question of ROMP, what then is its meaning. " Your committee still think that this meeting is clearly apparent from the convention itself. It has had in view and for object to cause the cessation of the French occupation of Rome, and to regulate the consequences of that fact. It was precisely in confining', the subject of the negotiations within these limits that an agreement has been possible between the two Governments upon the basis of a principle of common policy—we mean the principle of noneintervention. " We think it equally superfluous to state in detail all which, starting from the cessation of the French occupstion, Italy has a right to expect as even imm mediate results. " We shall only say that the almost unanimous applause with which the nation has greeted the news of this event amply proves that the practical sense admirably distinguishing our population has again eeen how to direct itself justly, and fix upon the vital point of the concerted solution. And this fact has really been the greatest satisfaction which France could give to the national honour of Italy. " The immediate effects of the cessation of the French occupation are of diverse nature, and are especially important in the relations of public safety. It must not, in fact, escape any one that, if we are engaged by the convention to observe and respect the obligations which the law of nations imposes upon every State towards its neighbour, no sort of impunity has been s'ipulated in advance in favour of the Roman Government, in case it should permit itself to despise or violate obligations. "As for the more remote efft.cts which must be the result, slowly, it is possible, but in our opinion infallibly, of the moral forces in which we have continually increasing confidence, the contracting parties could not take them into consideration, and it would not now be prudent and wise to desire to anticipate them. "The convention establishes nothing, and pro hibits nothing in this respect, so that full andentire liberty of action is preserved to Italy who will only be guided by events to subordinate than to the ends of her national policy. "Under this head Italy, too, must rejoice in a great conquest. We mean the application of the principle of non-intervention to the Roman State as to every other part of Italy—a principle of which we have constituted and recog nised ourselves as the defenders and guardians. Thus if, as your committee believes, the meaning of the convention does not include any derogation to our national programme, and if this uct agrees in its results so happily with the desires, the interests, and the honour of Italy, the approbation we ask of your patriotism will not be uncertain. "An amendment proposed by some of the bureau to Art. 1 was intended to point out more clearly the provisional nature of the measure transferring the capital to Florence. "Although this wish was in no way in contra , diction with the fundamental ideas of the commit tee, nevertheless, and after mature Examination, they determined to rEject it, convinced that the provisional character would appear better from facts than mere words, and more espea cially by the preference given to Florence over Naples, and the firmness with which we are all de cided to maintain the national programme. " We considered, further, that it might be danger• ous to open the way to amendments in a text which the Government has almost literally transcribed from international acts, with which it is advisable to keep it in the most perfect harmony, so as to avoid embarrassing difficulties." The following letter from the Minister of the King's Household to the Minister of Finance has been laid before the Chamber : Tunix, Nov. 3, ig M. le Ministre,—His Majesty is very glad that you have fully acquainted him with the position of the State finances. " His Majesty has taken into serious considera tion the consequences of this financial situation, and of the new burdens which must weigh upon the nation. His Majesty cannot, therefore, but approve of your intention to introduce the strictest economy into the administration of public affairs. "Being desirous in some way to contribute his part towards lightening the burdens of the country, and animated by those sentiments of large and spontaneous generosity which dictate his acts in all circumstances, his Majesty has resolved to renounce three millions from the civil list for the approach• ing budget of 1865, and successively until more prosperous times. " It is also his Majesty's intention that several properties now assigned to the Crown shall be placed at the free disposition of the department, by ci hick they may be turnea to u3erut eceounr. "I rt quest you, M. to Ministre, to make known these intentions of the King to Parliament, and to I receive the assurances of my most distinguished consideration. (Signed) " NIGRA."

CASTLE-ON4YNE MAGISTRATES.—At Newcastle, on Monday, Mr Robert Ward, proprietor of the North of England ddve; tiser, applied to the sitting magistrate for a summons against the Brothers Davenport, who have just concluded a series of seances in that town. Mr Ward stated that the Brothers Davenport, by professing to show, spiritual manifestations, had obtained money to the amount of about £lOO from the people of Newcastle, and that he himself had been defrauded of a guinea. By their pro fessions the Brothers Davenport had induced large numbers to attend their seances, where certain alleged spiritual manifestations took place, but which he believed to be nothing but a swindle, and that the money, there fore, had been obtained under false pretences. He stated that there was an act of Parliament em powering the magistrates to punish all persons obtaining money by professing to give exhibitions of spiritual agencies. He submitted that such persons could be punished the same as fortune-tellers were. The magistrates' clerk asked hkr. if he could produce the Act of Parliament to which ho re ferred. Mr Ward said he wild not, as he did not expect it would be required. He believed tho manifestations to be a thorough swindle, and that the parties ought to be punished. The chairman said that he himself did not believe in those silly exhibitions, but he did not think the magistrates had power to grant a summons in the case. If people would be so foolish as to pay their money to witness such exhibitions, it could not be said that they had been deluded by false pretences. The bench refused the application.
